2009 Feb 25

February 25, 2009 – Do Right by Your Leftovers.

Rather than purchasing a new lunch, plan ahead and bring in extras from a previous dinner or a previous lunch - reusing a container.

March 4, 2009 – Spread The Word.

On this Waste Not Wednesday spread the word. Take a few moments to contact a colleague in another governmental agency or business and talk to them about Waste Not Wednesdays. Offer to help them get their organization started on the energy savings, cost efficiency road. Feel free to share the entire list of Waste Not Wednesdays with them for their organization to use, modify or pass on to others. If you'd like the complete list of all Waste Not Wednesdays, please contact Roxanne or Jill.

ECO-DRIVING TIP OF THE WEEK:

Accelerate and brake smoothly – Accelerating smoothly from a stop and braking softly conserves fuel. Fast starts, weaving in and out of traffic and hard braking wastes fuel and wears out some of the car components, such as brakes and tires, more quickly. Maintain a safe distance between vehicles and anticipate traffic conditions to allow for more time to brake and accelerate gradually.
